listbox binding..what is the current selection?

I have a listbox with two strings "Fixed" and "Random". It is bound by the following statement: lbLengthtype.bind('',set_lengthtype) Here's the beginning of the set_lengthtype code: def set_lengthtype(event=None): s=lbLengthtype.get(tk.ACTIVE) print(s) . The print(s) statement
